According to the justice department, Aurelio Luis Perez-Lugones illegally provided sensitive and secret information related to national defense to a reporter who it says then wrote and published at least five articles using it. The indictment was not immediately available, and a press release announcing five charges against Perez-Lugones of mishandling classified information did not identify the journalist or their employer.

I can confirm what the attorney general stated and the president as well, which is that the individual, unfortunately, a contractor at the Pentagon, chose to unlawfully leak classified and very serious information to this Washington Post reporter. She continued: Hence, why the reporter's home was looked into by the FBI, and rightfully so. And the administration is not going to tolerate leaks, especially from within the national security apparatus of the United States government that put our nation's integrity national security at risk.
